DJ ParSec's career was poised to take off when she was murdered.  No one is more upset than her former best friend Kya and current publicist Fuse.  Kya and Fuse are both upset about ParSec's death, but there's no love lost between them, and they are angry and suspicious.

Even though she was only sixteen, ParSec's music has already inspired a rabid fanbase, #ParSecNation.  But there's a dark side to everything and the Dark Nation is not satisfied with the police investigation, and they are equally suspicious of ParSec's former friends.

The Dark Nation makes Kya and Fuse an offer they can't refuse:  find out who killed ParSec, or pay the price themselves for her death.

As the story unfolds in the present, DJ ParSec, AKA Paris, tells her own story in flashbacks of the months leading up to her death.

Kya and Fuse are getting closer to the truth, but that also means they are getting closer to a killer.

Lamar Giles's newest thriller is his best so far.  This is a great mystery set in the heart of the homegrown music scene with strong ties to the power of social media.  Recommended for grades 8 and up.
